MHTR is one of three treatment options available to the court when considering sentencing options. MHTR is designed to help people who experience mental health difficulties and is an opportunity for someone to engage with treatment while still receiving a sentence: a form of diversion within, rather than away from, the criminal justice system but outside custody.
